Speak loud enough to be heard over the wind, as Best Friend of the Podcast Papa Bear Gilles de Coster returns for another year of treachery, by inviting twelve new candidates to join him for a trip to Portugal! As always, one of them has a second motive – to sabotage and restrict the pot as much as possible, whilst avoiding the searching gaze of both their fellow players and the public! Each week, three guys who are trying not to be filthy this time around – Logan, Bindles & I – will be attempting to uncover the truth behind the lies and trying not to overthink it this year, beginning with the first episode and elimination of Maïté!
We’ve refused to speak for six months.There’s a rapid fire run through the shows we’ve not talked about.Tasmania gets a new tourist slogan.Bindles sets a niche record in a cell.Logan books an urgent trip to a museum.I try and go for some redemption.Should you ever break the Logan Saunders travel rules?Logan tries to steal my thunder.A convenient trip sees Vernon gain a new deviant.We’ve all had big celebrations.We briefly touch upon the Café de Mol cast release episode.Michelle has some notes.We notice a bit of a trend.Did we all know the two leftovers would return?Is Maïté the biggest first boot character of the reboot?Is it that common a hobby to look around nice houses?There’s an ironic banner.Is there a new Canada’s Favourite Summertime Adventure?Logan learns about a cyclist.Should Vincent have expected something from his pre-season interviews to come up?I make a promise/threat for the finale.Who is Bindles’ New Pedro?I think about logistics.Did we like the first challenge?Will there be a numerical clue?Who would have been intimidated by Yannis & Yana?There’s a promotional mishap that we need to discuss.We avoid the awkward cultural misinterpretation thanks to listener Elijah.How did Yana not know any of the rebus clues?Is R2-D2 the most famous robot?We launch a new segment (lucky Donna!)Has Yannis ever been to Japan?Was sacrificing €500 the right choice?Should you start with the first season?Is there ever a value to going all in on the first test?Are second-degree burns flirtatious?Logan tries to get me in more trouble.Maïté gets a eulogy.Is it a bad thing to have a more traditional premiere than last year?We reveal our Pool teams.Suspect List and First Suspicions officially launch.And we lock in our first set of suspects.A new season also means a new predictions pool for me to win! In our België one, Logan, Bindles & I will each draft three candidates following this week’s episode. As Logan won last year’s Flemish pool, he gets first draft. I get second draft and Bindles gets last. Our fan-favourite Switches also return and can – as always – be used until final five becomes final four. Whoever loses someone first will inherit whichever one of the leftovers they picked highest in First Suspicions, assuming both survive next week.
